Study Notes
Parallelograms: Properties and Theorems
- Definition: A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
- Congruent Triangles: A parallelogram's diagonal divides it into two congruent triangles.
- Opposite Sides: Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length.
- Opposite Angles: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal in measure.
- Diagonals: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other (intersect at their midpoints).
Mid-Point Theorem
- Line Connecting Midpoints: The line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side.
- Length Relationship: This line segment is half the length of the third side.
- Converse Theorem: A line drawn through the midpoint of one side of a triangle, parallel to another side, bisects the third side.
Rectangle Properties
- Right Angles: A rectangle is a parallelogram where one angle is a right angle; therefore, all angles are right angles.
- Equal Diagonals: Diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length.
Rhombus Properties
- Equal Sides: A rhombus is a parallelogram with all four sides equal in length.
- Perpendicular Diagonals: The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.
Square Properties
- Equal Sides and Angles: A square is a parallelogram where all sides are equal and all angles are right angles.
- Equal and Perpendicular Diagonals Diagonals of a square are equal in length and perpendicular to each other.
Additional Theorems
-
Converse Theorems: Statements that reverse the conditions of a theorem.
-
